- Great screen and battery for the price, but Android 14 made the system a bit heavier.
I’ve been using the Galaxy M13 (SM-M135M) and overall the experience is positive. The display has good quality for its class, with decent colors and brightness, and the 5,000 mAh battery offers excellent autonomy. Gaming performance is reasonable, fine for light and mid-range titles but nothing outstanding for heavy games. After updating to Android 14 with One UI 6.1, I noticed the system became a bit heavier compared to previous versions. It’s also worth noting that the device runs in 32-bit mode, even though the processor is 64-bit capable. Despite these points, it’s still a reliable phone with good value for money.
Pros- Good display for its category
- Excellent battery life
- Guaranteed software updates from Samsung
- Good value for money
- Stable everyday experience
Cons- System runs in 32-bit mode
- Only basic gaming performance
- System became heavier after Android 14
- Relatively slow charging
- Simple plastic build

View answers - AutoThe phone itself works fine, I've had it for 2 years now and it hasn't given me any problems.
The phone isn't very powerful, but it has Android 14 and works well. It used to take good photos, but they've gotten worse over time. I would recommend it for daily use, but there are better options for the price. Overall, though, the phone is good.

- It's going well.

View answers - AutoFor a secondary phone, it's a 9 out of 10. I give the screen a 10 and the sound a 7. Recommended for secondary use, 100%.
It should have at least 4/128 and not 64, but it's a very nice, comfortable color and a very good brand.
Pros- It's nice, has a good screen, good color, good battery, USB charging, three cameras, and a good brand.
Cons- 4GB of RAM does not come with a charger
- Minimum 6GB, not 4

It was a good smartphone at first, but over time it got slower and slower and was often frustrating to use. The biggest problem is when it comes to videos from the Meta company, such as Instagram and Facebook, where it is practically impossible to watch a video without it stuttering and freezing. For the price paid in 2022 (R$923) it was a good smartphone for a few months, but soon after I discovered in practice that this chipset (Exynos 850) and the OneUI updates degraded the user experience too much. Today in 07/2025 I do not recommend this smartphone, perhaps not even if it is used at a very low price (under R$500), there are better new things and for little more than that.
Pros- Screen density and size
Cons- No NFC
- No screen mirroring
- Very bad processor that gets hot
- Charger less powerful than the smartphone supports
- OneUI updates degraded performance

My phone didn't last long, because it broke down during the first update and I had to return it. The time I had it I was able to enjoy a better screen than I expected, but it was frustratingly slow. It's an entry-level phone and you can't ask for more. PS.- After having other entry-level phones, I think you could ask for a lot more.
Pros- Screen
- Battery
Cons- Slowness
- Night camera
- Died while updating

View answers - AutoCell phone for basic use and for a little more
Well, it is a basic cell phone in quotes with a terrible processor, cameras, quite acceptable but with the big problem that the processor limits the camera a lot but even so with that limitation you can get good use of the camera with the only problem that its mode pro is incomplete In the almost 2 years that I have had this cell phone, the truth is that I have been surprised by its great resistance to impacts since I have dropped the cell phone several times and the screen is still excellent with a few scratches that are barely visible. Something that I have noticed over time is that the cell phone is becoming obsolete either in basic applications or in applications with a little more demand in day to day life with the cell phone sometimes it can get stuck well but in the end due to the price of the cell phone maybe I don't know you can expect more in the end, it is a low-mid-range cell phone
Pros- Battery
- Screen
- Durability
Cons- Medium camera
- Fluency
- Software
- Screen brightness
- Processor
- SPF

View answers - AutoIt is clearly a slow phone
Besides being slow, due to the processor I guess, at least on the pre-installed Android version 13(Tiramisu), it has less functionality than the M30S I had before it. Less options in the settings to adapt to my tastes and needs. There is no chance of course that it has a virus or a trojan, the reason it is slow is 99% the one I mentioned at the beginning! Below average camera quality. Finally, it does NOT come with a charger, but only with a USB-C to USB-C cable. Also, my headset, which I connect to various devices, without the following problem, sometimes plays in mono, when I connect it with Bluetooth, and the only way to play again stereo is the reboot and of course it takes about 2.5 minutes to be ready to use on a reboot. I am sorry because I have bought 2 other Samsung devices. This one is not worth the money at all! (€160 in August 2023)Also the connectivity rating, it's because kimovil doesn't ask me to rate the bluetooth....
